Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Using a sharp knife, make a cross on the top of each sweet potato, then sit them with the cross facing upwards in a roasting tin. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp of oil with 2 tsp chipotle paste, then rub over each potato with a sprinkle of salt. Bake for 1 hr until the potatoes are tender when pierced by a sharp knife.
  2. Meanwhile, in another roasting tin, add the onions and garlic, then drizzle with 1 tbsp oil. Roast for 10 mins until the onion is beginning to soften. Remove from the oven and stir in the passata, beans, remaining chipotle paste, 200ml hot water, the cinnamon, paprika, chilli flakes and olives. Season, then return to the oven and bake for 40 mins until the sauce is reduced slightly and piping hot.
  3. Once the potatoes are cooked, transfer to the baking tray with the sauce and top with the feta, lime juice and fresh coriander to serve.

Tip: To reheat, cover loosely with foil and bake at gas 5, 190C, fan 170°C for 30-40 mins until piping hot.
